Akihiko's mind was buzzing. His latest character Shizuka would have to be fitted into his story so far. Aikawa was in love with her best friend Kazu. He didn't feel the same way, but he felt sorry for her so he went out with her. He would then begin cheating outside their relationship.

He'd only decided the girl would be her best friend this morning. So he'd have to go back and rewrite her into the earlier chapters.

Ahead of him in the hall, Usami couldn't help but notice, Hiroki was talking to Takahiro. For a second he smiled, thinking that his two best friends were getting along. But then he realized that Hiroki had wacked his crush over the head. Takahiro raised his hands defensively, nodded and walked away. Hiroki smiled, having got his way, and began walking toward him.

"What was that about?" Akihiko asked, glaring at his friend. Hiroki knew he loved Takahiro. Why would he hit him?

"Chill out," Hiroki said, "it was nothing."

Usami opened his mouth to say something, but Hiroki was already walking away. He couldn't pretend not to be pissed off. But then, Hiroki hit everyone. It was normal.

Usami continued to his class, not realizing that there was one person Hiroki didn't whack like that.

Hiroki spend his next few classes in a bad mood. Why had he done that? If Takahiro told Usami, Usami would be crushed. He might even give up on Takahiro. Wasn't that what Hiroki wanted?

No. He may hate the fact that Akihiko loved Takahiro, but he didn't want him to be crushed. He knew how he would feel if Takahiro stole Akihiko away from him. He wouldn't put his friend through that. Not when he was already suffering because Takahiro would never love him.

That was why, when Takahiro had bragged about his new girlfriend to Hiroki, he'd threatened him about telling Usami.

"Why not?" Takahiro asked, "I wanted to tell both of you guys first."

"Because he likes her," Hiroki said quickly. Why did he even bother telling Hiroki? They weren't really friends. Maybe Takahiro thought they were because Hiroki was often around Akihiko too. Whatever,

"Wouldn't he be happy for me then?"

"Hell, no," Hiroki said, hitting him over the head.

Takahiro laughed, rubbing his head. How was that funny? What was wrong with this guy? "You're right," he said, putting his hands defensively. Did he think Hiroki was just playing around? Did he break Takahiro when he'd slapped him?

Takahiro was just messed up, Hiroki decided.

Miyagi wasn't surprised when Shinobu mentioned Home Economics. He'd sighed Shinobu up himself. It wasn't because his lover's cooking was terrible, although that made been a plus. But by taking that class, Shinobu's study hall would be changed to fifth period. Fifth period, which just happened to be his prep.

Of course he wouldn't mention that to Shinobu. He'd asked the boy's study hall to send him up that period. He had a feeling it wouldn't be hard to convince anyone that he was only tutoring him. Shinobu was already treated differently. And he taught Advanced Literature, which Shinobu would probably get into next year.

Miyagi had a good feeling that he'd be seeing a lot of Shinobu.

Meanwhile, the first day of school went pretty well for Miyagi. All he really had to do was talk about what they'd be covering this year. Then the bell would ring he'd do the exact same lecture again. There really wasn't anything to do with his prep. Expect see Shinobu…

"Shinobu, you're wanted in Professor Miyagi's room." Ms. Tsuzuki said, as soon as Shinobu entered her room, "Do you need a pass?"

He shook his head and left. Once out of the room, he ran to the Literature Room. He figured Miyagi wanted to see him before starting his next class. He hadn't expected they'd have a whole period to themselves.

The door was closed when he got there, and few students were lingering in the hall.

"Miyagi…" he started, but the older man's lips stopped him from continuing.

Shinobu leaned into the kiss, drawing it out for a few seconds. Miyagi eventually broke it and closed the door behind him. Shinobu flushed, realizing he'd left it open. He personally didn't care if people knew about their relationship. It wasn't a problem unless his father or another teacher found out. Of course, Shinobu didn't really know what would happen to Miyagi if they found out. He knew it wouldn't be good, but it wasn't something he worried about.

"I'm going to talk to your father about letting you come here every day," Miyagi said, before kissing Shinobu again.

"One thing that never changes," Sumi said, as they stood in line in the cafeteria, "The food never gets any better."

Misaki poked his sandwich with his plastic spork. "Think it's edible?"

"We'll never know unless we try it." Sumi replied, grabbing the mystery soup. Okay, the sign said "chicken and rice" but no one was fooled.

Misaki choose a salad instead, because he knew it was only lettuce and cheese. It was pretty difficult for the lunch ladies to ruin something with soo few ingredients, though it was still pretty risky.

Their table from last year stood empty, and they took it without thinking. Some people from Sumi's study group showed up and began talking about things they'd done over the summer. Only one had gone on vacation, but apparently he'd spent the whole time playing on his computer. Misaki would never say it to Sumi, but the reason he didn't join their study group was because he thought they were geeks. Sumi was okay. He didn't spend every minute on his laptop. But his other friends…

"Hey, Misaki!" Takahiro waved as he and his friends passed.

Sumi and Misaki both watched as his brother sat at the table beside their's.

"Who is that?" Sumi asked in a whisper, nodding at the boy beside Takahiro.

"Usami Akihiko," Misaki said dully, "Jerk gives my brother a ride to school but not me."

"He's… wow," Sumi said.

"I don't like him," Misaki said, taking a bite of his sandwich, "every time I see him, he's always all over my brother."

As if on cue, Usami hugged Takahiro causing the other boy at their table to fake coughing up.

For the rest of the lunch period Sumi drooled over Akihiko. His friends persisted in acting like the geeks they were. And Misaki felt alone. So alone that he almost went over to his brother's table. Of course it wasn't like Takahiro would notice him. He was reading something written by the "great and wonderful" Usami Akihiko.

By lunch time, Nowaki was surrounded by people. It wasn't a surprise. He was naturally liked by everyone. Nowaki was just one of those people that were liked where ever he went.

"What do you have next period?" one of the girls he'd eaten with asked, following him out of the cafeteria.

"Chemistry," he said, "You?"

"History," she said with a groan.

"Well, maybe I'll see you after," he said, trying not to disappoint her.

"I hope," she said, before dashing off to a couple of other girls. They talked excitedly for a few minutes before giggling.

Nowaki went to his next three classes. He was nice to his fellow students which resulted in more people hanging around him. He was fine with it of course. He liked people and thought he might work with them one day.

Nowaki walked the block back home after school. His foster parents were still working so he made himself dinner. Then he locked himself in his bedroom and started his algebra homework. Was assigning homework on the first day a crime? It really should have been.

Shinobu leaned on his boyfriend's car in the teacher's parking lot. Miyagi, as expected, yelled at him for making it so obvious that they were going home together.

"Stop worrying so much, old man," he said, confidently.

"Brat," Miyagi muttered in response as he unlocked his car.

Shinobu made the usual cabbage stir-fry when they got home. He knew it sucked, and he personally hated cabbage. But it killed him to know that he couldn't make anything right. So he kept at it, hoping one day he'd perfect cabbage stir-fry.

Miyagi made rice, which is what they mainly ate.

"You hate it don't you?" Shinobu asked; when Miyagi didn't even pretend to eat the stir-fry. "Is there something you'd rather be eating?"

"Yeah, you," Miyagi said with a straight face.

"O-okay," Shinobu said, uncertainly. Miyagi didn't usually say things like this, but he couldn't pretend their relationship was PG.

"Hey!" Shinobu protested, as his lover dragged him into the bedroom.

"You said it was okay," Miyagi replied, dumping him onto the bed and pulling the window blinds closed, "Besides; did you really think I'd be satisfied with what happened in the classroom?"

Shinobu could only watch as his cloths were ripped away and his lover took him over and over again.

I think that's about all I can do with a T rating. I hope I'm not disappointing anyone too much. I think I could get away with a BJ in the next one. But I'll see if I can write it T.
